An affordable Thai restaurant with a large selection of dishes to choose from. The fried kale with crispy pork has a hint of spiciness to it, the flavour is quite balanced. The seafood Tom yum soup is tangy with a good spicy taste. The seafood was a few slices of fish, some cuttlefish and prawns. The seafood was fresh. The garlic fried Black pomfret is fresh and tasty. A good meal for a hungry traveller on a cold night. And the total bill for me came up to Baht 530. Very reasonable. Can eat.
